LINUX Web Hosting Commands and tools cp

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

Copy SOURCE to DEST, or multiple SOURCE(s) to DIRECTORY.
-a, --archive
same as -dpR--backup[=CONTROL]
make a backup of each existing destination file
-b like --backup but does not accept an argument
-d, --no-dereference
never follow symbolic links
-f, --force
if an existing destination file cannot be opened,
remove it and try again
-i, --interactive
prompt before overwrite
-H follow command-line symbolic links
-l, --link
link files instead of copying
-L, --dereference
always follow symbolic links
-p, --preserve
preserve file attributes if possible
--parents
append source path to DIRECTORY
-P same as `--parents' for now; soon to change to
`--no-dereference' to conform to POSIX
-r copy recursively, non-directories as files WARNING:
use -R instead when you might copy special files
like FIFOs or /dev/zero
--remove-destination
remove each existing destination file before
attempting to open it (contrast with --force)
--sparse=WHEN--target-directory=DIRECTORY
move all SOURCE arguments into DIRECTORY
-u, --update
copy only when the SOURCE file is newer than the
destination file or when the destination file is
missing
-v, --verbose
explain what is being done
-x, --one-file-system
stay on this file system
--help display this help and exit
--version
output version information and exit
By default, sparse SOURCE files are detected by a crude
heuristic and the corresponding DEST file is made sparse
as well. That is the behavior selected by --sparse=auto.
Specify --sparse=always to create a sparse DEST file when-
ever the SOURCE file contains a long enough sequence of
zero bytes. Use --sparse=never to inhibit creation of
sparse files.
The backup suffix is `~', unless set with --suffix or SIM-
PLE_BACKUP_SUFFIX. The version control method may be
selected via the --backup option or through the VER-
SION_CONTROL environment variable. Here are the values:
none, off
never make backups (even if --backup is given)
numbered, t
make numbered backups
existing, nil
numbered if numbered backups exist, simple other-
wise
simple, never
always make simple backups
As a special case, cp makes a backup of SOURCE when the
force and backup options are given and SOURCE and DEST are
the same name for an existing, regular file.
